[PyKDE] KSystemTray issues

[Shahar Weiss]

Thank you, this way I was able to set the application's name, thanks a lot.

Still I wasn't able to find a way of replacing the icon beside it. I looked at 
KDE's reference regarding KAboutData which had a setProgramLogo() method. 
This method however wasn't present in the python object.

Can you please help me with that?

Thanks again,
Shahar.
